Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S/2200S Software User’s Guide
Alarm Tab
Appears for Adaptec RAID controllers equipped with an audible
alarm. The following options are available:
■Disable—Click this button if you want to disable the alarm,
that is, if you do not want an audible warning of a problem with
this controller. Default is enabled. When Disable is selected it
becomes the Enable button.
■Tes t— Use this button to test the alarm. You may want to try
this to establish if the alarm can be heard clearly in your
implementation, or if the volume of the alarm will be too
intrusive.
■Silence—If the alarm is sounding, clicking on this button will
silence the alarm without disabling it.
Battery Tab
Appears if the controller is fitted with a battery module. This
window lists various components details for this controller:
■Status—Shows the current status of the battery. A bad battery is
one that does not hold charge and should be replaced. Possible
values are Failed, No Charge, Charging, Active (drawing
power), Unknown.
■Recalibrate—On some controllers, the battery periodically
needs to be run through a process known as recalibration to
ensure that it remains fully operational.
For controllers where this button does not appear, recalibration
is not required.
If this button is present, then the battery on this controller
should be recalibrated every 6 - 12 months.
